| Parameter | Orlando | EGFP | autoHermes | pBacMOS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ro | 87.23 ± 0.17a | 25.26 ± 0.09b | 47.72 ± 0.19c | 31.65 ± 0.07d |
| Tc | 41.26 ± 0.02a | 39.70 ± 0.02b | 40.23 ± 0.01c | 41.16 ± 0.008d |
| rm | 0.12 ± 0.00006a | 0.09 ± 0.0001b | 0.10 ± 0.0001c | 0.09 ± 0.0001d |

Mean demographic growth parameters (±SE) generated from jackknifed lxmx data for cohorts of Orlando strain females and transgenic Ae. aegypti with fecundity data from four consecutive gonotrophic cycles. Means followed by the same letters within rows are significantly different at the 0.05 level (ANOVA). Ro, net reproductive rate; Tc, generation time in days; rm, intrinsic rate of increase per day; Td, doubling time in days.
